My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very well equipped and clean, but they were too dark, and breakfast was very limited, making it the least enjoyable compared to my previous stays at other hotels. The service was a bit stressful, likely due to the large Chinese tour groups, but overall, the staff was really friendly and helpful. The location was convenient, a couple of miles outside of town but easy to reach by bus or taxi. The dining experience had its ups and downs – the breakfast was slow, but the variety and quality of products were good. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with helpful and friendly staff. While the A/C can be too hot or too cold, the cleanliness and service are highlights. The location is convenient for exploring Granada and Sierra Nevada, with a refreshing mountain view. Dining is average at best, and the facilities are below the standard of most 4-star hotels in Spain.

The hotel offered decent rooms with some amenities, but the service fell short of expectations. The location was convenient for visiting Alhambra, but some discomfort was noted. The dining options were satisfactory but not extensive.
Rooms

My double room turned out to be two singles pushed together, but they were of a good size and had essential amenities like air con and a mini-bar. The transition from heat mode to air conditioning, however, caused some inconvenience in the temperatures. The overall comfort was acceptable, although not exceptional.

The hotel had a stunning mountain view from the rooms, but they felt a bit stuffy due to limited lighting. The service was excellent with very helpful staff, although the language barrier led to feeling overcharged for some amenities. The location was excellent for outdoor activities but a bit far from the city center. Dining options were lacking variety and a bit pricey.

The hotel had a good size room, with amenities like air conditioning and a mini-bar. However, the room was facing the afternoon sun, making it feel like an oven inside, and the window did not open.

Staying in a junior suite on the top floor felt like an oven, although it was quiet, which is essential for me when choosing a hotel. However, the room did not cool down to a comfortable temperature. The service was very helpful, especially with access to the swimming pool and the convenient location for the Alhambra Palace. On the downside, the hotel guests' service was extremely unhelpful and sometimes rude. The location was great for exploring Granada and Sierra Nevada, although it could have been easier to find if the final instructions had been clearer. The dining experience was a letdown, especially for a 4-star hotel, feeling more like a 3-star. The Italian dishes were not up to standard. Facilities were sufficient, but not outstanding.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, especially those facing the mountain side, were comfortable with good Wi-Fi and a spacious bath, but the smell of recent smoking was a downside.
